I tested my laptop again with Windows XP and got really different result this time, Windows just does a Load_Cycle_Count each 3 minutes. I don't know why it's different now but here it seems that yes, ubuntu does a Load_Cycle_Count very more oftenly than Windows. More, Ubuntu still get around 1 Load Cycle per minute when the laptop has been booted while it was plugged ( not on battery ). Is that bad? According to the fact that a laptop maximum SMART attribute is 900000, I would say that yes.. something is probably wrong.
However, my Desktop Dell PC still doesn't get a Load_Cycle_Count in one hour, that seems completely normal. So the problem doesn't appear in any PC. Is there a HardDrive expert who would be able to confirm if the ubuntu behavior is or isn't correct? -- default value in power.sh potentially kills laptop disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59695 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
